“I continue to come to Arrowhead for continuity treatment because I feel the most comfortable here out of any PT facility I have been to over the years. The professionalism and sense of caring here is 2nd to none. Doug, along with the entire staff, has always been very helpful. They are also very knowledgeable and have all the answers to my questions. I will continue to come to Foothills and refer my family or friends if necessary.”
“Foothills has truly been a blessing. As a professional athlete and everyday active person, my life isn’t complete without my daily exercise and competitive sports. I was sidelined with knee and shoulder pain with no idea if I would ever participate in competitive sports or basic gym exercises again. I was told that I may need surgery, however after being introduced to the therapists and their treatments at Foothills, I have returned to ALL physical activities. Their treatments, their after care recommendations and their overall consistent customer service has kept me from needing surgery! I appreciate the excellent treatment, service and guidance they provide that helps me maintain my mobility and physical activities.”
“My husband first came after a knee replacement and then I had hip replacements two years apart. From tears in the beginning to finishing strong, Foothills was amazing although I usually had the same people working with me, everyone was kind, fun and helpful. It was always hard work but worth every exercise I did. We will always come back if we need PT.”
“The staff at Foothills do a great job of making customers feel like family. Always friendly and knowledgeable, the therapists and staff make an often uncomfortable situation fun. Their knowledge of my line of work and unique hazards goes a long way in building confidence in treatment options.”
